Will the spindle work with the winder? I am trying to understand the best way to get the fabric around the spindle right now.

You're going to be really happy! You can wind it by hand, but no need because you have the Simplicity Winder! I use the Winder to get my bias strips on to the spindle. When I wound it by hand the tension was uneven on the spindle but the Winder does a great job of getting the bias strips evenly wound on the spindle. Then you take that and put it on the bias tape maker.

Not really. The bobbin winder is on top by the thread holder. It is easy to thread and easy to use. Then you must put it in the bobbin holder beneath the needle.

It's supposed to line up perfectly when you use the pressure washer. I couldn't do it by hand. I had to use a cloth to protect it and then use pliers to twist it

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I think so. I have my gate adaptor attached to a pretty skinny spindle, and although I had to wrap the velcro strap around it many many times, it still works. In addition to the velcro, there is a little clip that goes around the velcro so no one can easily remove the velcro. It will most likely work for you as it did for me.**EDIT - After reading the other answers, I wanted to add that my spindle is not flat. I used that shelf liner paper (the grippy kind) underneath the adaptor velcro to keep it more stable. It does not spin around the spindle and works fine. I use this safety gate at the bottom of the stairs. I'm not sure I would use these adaptors...or this gate...at the top of the stairs. I think so.

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

not from my observation and experience. i'm not sure what you mean regarding the spindle. I think my oxo salt grinder works well.

I also would like to use a 4-jawed chuck so please post back what you have learned. I don't know what will fit my unit as I've only done some small, spindle projects. All the Best.

It doesn't appear that it can. If appears that the spindle is attached permanently to the existing 3/8" chuck. The spindle is held in the frame with a snap ring and if you could find a 1/2" chuck with the same sized spindle I suppose you could make it work.

Spindle is a 1 inch 8 tpi...threads per inch. No more than a 4 lb. chuck is what Rikon suggests.

I don't think the speend would be sufficient, but you could try it. The spindle is not very strong though. Mine broke after the second wheel. Have to contrive a new one somehow.

Kathy are you asking about just the spindles or the entire set? The spindles seem to be the same. Not sure on the rest, send me your model number and serial number and I can figure it out for you. This set was for a zero turn mower. RA

I wouldn't use it that way. I don't believe it will provide he safety you need without spindles . Using this between spindles may allow you to space the spindle a little further apart.

I asked support about this before and was advised to do it this way: use your right arm to hold onto the vertical stand, where the active blade is; and use the left hand to turn the spindle. The girl in the YouTube video actually showed it could be done pretty easily: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiSSjRX3WKo

I have not really had success with this either. I did put the washer and nut on and have attempted to strap it between them with limited success.

My research found that the only thing they changed on spindles was the addition of grease fittings. Try them always send them back
